The OSWER
Training Coordination Team was created in 1986 as the OSWER Training Forum to respond to training needs
of EPA and state personnel involved in solid and hazardous waste
cleanup and emergency response. The members of the forum coordinate
their efforts to provide training to EPA, federal, state, and tribal
personnel responsible for regulatory and enforcement activities.

The CERCLA Education Center (CEC) is offering a nine-part Preliminary Assessment and Site Inspection (PA/SI) Webinar Series in June and July 2014. PA/SI is an intermediate training course designed for personnel who are required to compile, draft and review PA, SI and HRS documentation records and packages submitted for sites proposed for the National Priorities List (NPL). This course is open to EPA, federal, state, tribal and contractor personnel who support site investigation programs.
